The whole playoffs so far is some of the best hockey I've ever seen. Much much better than watching the Habs this year! I like how the Caps are playing so far, it looks like they play better when they're the underdog. If #8 continues to step up his play, I'm confident they can beat the Bruins. I predict a Blues-Flyers final.

Thanks a lot guys! I'm mostly a lurker here nowadays, I don't have much time for audio, but this forum still delivers. Hey, it's not my fault if your team of lazy Russians get their ass beaten all the time by talented French-speaking hockey players.

The hostility was between him and the coach at the time, Mario Tremblay. Roy always appreciated the city and the fans, and I believe he said at some point he wouldn't mind coming back into the organization. But right now, he is the GM and coach of a successful junior hockey team in Quebec city and I would see him more becoming the coach of a future Nordiques team, if such a thing happens. Very nice gift for your son Dan btw!

Also, one of the problems with hiring a new coach in Montreal is the unwritten policy that they need to hire a bilingual coach. There's been some rumors going around, but I sincerely hope they won't consider Patrick Roy for the job...

Good for your son, at least now Gomez's big salary isn't completely unjustified! The other player that pisses me off this year is Cammalleri, the guy has huge skills and has showed in the past he's among the best in this team, and probably the best shooter in the team. I don't know what's going on this year, but he doesn't score. And he really needs to toughen up, damn, he makes Mike Ribeiro looks like a tough player on ice...

I believe the Habs will follow soon. Not that I think Jacques Martin is the main problem behind this team (that would be 5'10" players who are afraid to get physical and a certain Alaskan-Mexican player who makes 5M$/year and plays AHL hockey), but a new coach with a more offensive philosophy would be a welcome change.

With all the talent this team has, they shouldn't be in 8th place. Smart move, even if the problem is rarely only with the coach. In other news, Hurricanes fired Paul Maurice and Kirk Muller is their new coach!

I totally agree with this post. Even I&W and Awake have a bit of wankery, but at least it's done with good taste.

RIP Steve. He looked sick, but I never thought it would happen so fast. The guy's life should be a model for all future entrepreneurs.

Thanks for the heads up Deepak! I'm a big fan of Porcupine Tree's "mid-period", Stupid Dream being my favorite album from them, but I had never ventured into Steven Wilson solo stuff. I'm listening to this new album right now and I enjoy it a lot so far. Like roadtonowhere08 mentionned, there's a big Lightbulb Sun/Stupid Tree vibe on some tracks. 'Deform to form a star' is an awesome track.

I am pretty confused by the direction Opeth were trying to take with this new album. It's not quite prog, not quite hard rock, definitely not metal and it's got some weird folk elements, but nowhere near the quality of the Damnation album. I've always enjoyed Akerfeldt vocals in the past, but here his voice often sounds forced and is even annoying at some points. I am a bit fan of Opeth early music up to Deliverance, but it seems to me they've been going through a midlife crisis for the past few albums and this one is a real clunker IMO.
